Twins. Natural low-light

[Rebekah5280]

Hello again!

When I started doing photography I used natural light all the time, I've gotten away from it because of my old cameras poor performance in low-light situations.

With the arrival of my new camera, I went without my bounce flash to the hospital to capture a few pictures of a friend's newborn baby girls.

The light was low, and the babied were a rainbow of colors (red, orange, pink, yellow lol) so I decided to black and white them.

What do you think?

#1 My issue with this one is the "up the nose" shot of the baby in the back. :\ I took this shot from many different angles, and all seemed awkward except this one.

#2

#3

The compositions are the way they are because they are in facebook format. The pictures for my friend are in 4x6/6x4 porportions.

I think with twins, you should have both in focus but thats a matter of opinion. I like #2 the best. Maybe bump the contrast and I think a wider shot on #1 would have worked.

#1 If I could have gotten up on a chair to shoot down from above, it would have been nice. However, I was unable to because we were in a small critical care :/ There was this huge window light at the end of the hall (which we happened to be right next to) that I was stealing the light from, however, we couldn't take the babies out into the hall because of policy, so I had to pull there bassinets in the small doorway of the room. lol It was challenging, but the lighting is good I think.
